Well, this is most embarrassing, but I can't seem to figure out how to put the brushes back in! I picked up this used 693 kit, with the plunge and standard base, hardly used. I thought I would see just how "hardly used" so removed the brushes for inspection, but trying to put them back is difficult. There are two "ears" that fit into matching slots in the brush housing, but the spring is so strong and the space so tight, there is no way to keep them in the slots while at the same time screwing the cap back on. Anybody done it? Can you give this clueless guy a hint? I've got the manual, but it doesn't mention brushes at all. Nothing on the PC site and nothing in the archives for this group. I'm stymied!
